Oh! how delightful now at last to come

Away from town—its dirt, its degradation,

Its never-ending whirl, its ceaseless hum.

(A long chalks better, though, than sheer stagnation.)

For what could mortal man or maid want more

Than breezy downs to stroll on, rocks to climb up,

Weird labyrinthine caverns to explore?

(There's nothing else to do to fill the time up.)

Your honest face here earns an honest brown,
